Social Services

Food Relief

Seed of Hope staff and volunteers source, receive, catalogue and distribute donated foodstuffs to families in critical need. Often the recipients are children, or single mothers or grandmothers caring for children, and a large proportion are facing a food shortage due to a recently deceased family member.

Clothing Support

Donations of good quality clothing and household goods are received and distributed to members of the community through the Social Services office. Members of the HIV Support Group, volunteers at the Centre, and parents of children in our Simunye and After School programs all benefit from these donations.

Referral to Local Agencies

Our Social Services 0ffice acts as a connection point in the community where people can find out what agencies exist and what resources and services are available to them. We link people with various agencies that assist in supporting the physical, psychological and spiritual needs of the community.

Future Goals – Social Worker on Staff

In the future, we would like to have a Registered Social Worker on staff to assist people with their needs. The Social Worker will be an asset in helping orphans, people with disabilities and pensioners apply for government grants, as well as helping people apply for government ID documents which are needed for public health care and other services.
